Hi. I'm Hamilton Williams and I live in Valdese, NC with my daughter, Ella. I am a professional potter and artist with work in a number of galleries and shops across the southeastern US. I typically spend my days working in the studio at my potter's wheel or loading kilns or glazing pots, usually accompanied by my two dogs, Sydney and Louie. When I'm not working in the studio, I like to hike, kayak, canoe, read, cook, work on my house and yard, and goof-off with Ella.

Like Jessi, I'm really looking forward to the experiences our team will have while travelling through the western portion of India, primarily in the state of Gujarat. I'm especially interested in checking out the traditional and contemporary pottery in the areas through which we travel, and I hope I get the opportunity to get my hands dirty! A very special aspect of this trip is our chance to individually stay with a variety of host families as we move about the country, giving all of the team members greater insight into the true nature and pace of Indian life. This trip will no doubt be a life-changing experience, and I look forward to sharing that experience both here and when we return.
